Has anyone here seen Wicked? I was wondering if anyone but me has seen it. I saw it on the 7th of January and thought it was totally amazing. So here's your chance to speak up if you want to, or even if you don't.

I saw it on Dec. 21st. one of the best musicals that has been in Chicago yet.

I also really liked the Lion King, that was another good musical.

I'm planning on taking a bunch of my friends to Wicked in March.

my aunt was supposed to go with me last saturday, but she found out she has lukemia and is in the hospital still, and so my cousin, who is a huge fan of music and theater went with me. My aunt says if she has any money left after she overcomes her cancer (it was caught early, and the doctor guaranteed us it is can be cured), she wants to buy more tickets so she can see it. I told her I'd go again!

I just finished reading the book not that long ago. It was one of the best books I have read in a long time.
Now, I can't wait to go see the play.
Has anyone both read the book and seen the play? If so, how do they compare? Just curious.

I heard from many people that the Chicago version is actually better than the broadway version, they say Ana Gasteyer is funner and more lively. I'm sure it will still be great.

I'd also like to see Spamalot that looks hilarious.

I haven't seen the broadway, but Ana Gasteyer was hilarious.

When I visited Chicago in July of last year, I saw the play. I thought that it was excellent. I even bought a green monkey from the show and placed it on the rear view mirror in my car.

IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best musicals ever. I thought it was so spectacular when I saw it in January, that I'm going again sometime in April.

Aw I saw that. It was pretty sweet that everything fit together. It was awsome that Ana was in it 'cause SNL is awsome.

The Lion King was awsome. I was lucky enough to see it twice.

well i didn't get any tickets, but oh well, i'll live. There are new actresses now, so if anyone got tickets expecting to see Ana Gasteyer playing the wicked witch, you're SOL
